We've got nearly 40 applications, not counting those that have been marked as ineligible, from potential Summer of Code students. We must review these applications and select which ones will be most valuable to the Fedora Project and have a real chance of success.
I would appreciate any contributor volunteers that would like to assist in reviewing and ranking the applications. I would also still welcome any more volunteer mentors to handle the applications we end up accepting. We've only got a few days to decide, so, if you can help, please sign up and start providing feedback right away.
The resources you need are listed on the wiki:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SummerOfCode/Mentors
If you have questions, let me know.
Please, please, please do this. It'll take you five minutes to fill out the application.
Note: it's listed as "The Fedora Project," which means look under "T" instead of "F", heh.
Patrick: will we be having regular meetings of SoC mentors?

We haven't in the past, but we certainly could/should. Nothing too often is needed, I'd reckon; maybe every other week. Or we could pick/create a mailing list for collaboration?
One thing that came out of the Mentors Summit last year was a desire to work across projects in a co-mentoring relationship, as well as have tools that removed barriers to intra-project communication. Too much silo'd activity, etc. Where Google hasn't improved the tools or processes for this, let's do it ourselves.
Let's hope there is another GSoC Mentors Summit again this year; quite a nice BarCamp-style event with a chance to meet and learn from FLOSS leaders from across the globe. Cool reward for the mentor/admin work.

+1
Just using the mailing list would be a good start.
